Swiss national referendum will limit population to 10 million through strict immigration control to save environment
The most popular party in Switzerland, the Swiss People’s Part (SVP), known for its agrarian roots and opposition to mass immigration, is set to pursue a referendum calling for the renegotiation of international treaties, or even their complete abandonment...
Maybe it's the slow boil approach, get these changes in by under the guise of climate change, then when the inevitable decline in crime, less degradation in the urban areas and people feeling less under an occupation, they can just go 'well it didn't affect climate much but everything's a lot better so let's keep these border controls'
The fact that people in power even believe this tells you a lot about how out of touch they really are and I do believe this is a thing with the elites. If the governments of the west simply announced that they were going to automatically cut all welfare benefits for anyone who hasn't been living in the country for more than 10 years and isn't a naturalised citizen the leftists would hilariously screech and the migrants would suddenly stop coming. Mind you I think more cynically the elites have always viewed migrants as cheap disposable labour rather than a genuine force for economic growth but I'm sure there are some dipshits that believe this.
The picture highlights the problem of social media -
while 99% of swiss citizens are too busy working- your Somali immigrants have free time to spend demanding open borders…
Well, if you can't argue from reality, I guess you have to beat them with their own delusions?
I make this argument to leftists all the time: in Canada, because of the population distribution and climate, we have close to the highest per capita carbon emissions in the world. Every person imported to Canada will produce more CO2 here than they would elsewhere. Therefore, immigration should be severely limited.
Of course, that ignores that our natural forests absorb ten times the emissions we put out every year, but so does the government...
I think I'm an ecofascist at heart, really. I'd happily sacrifice most of my countrymen if it meant meeting less of them when hiking, never mind foreigners
Petards are not hoisted; they do the hoisting. The expression "hoisted by his own petard" describes being killed by the explosive device that you are handling, a petard being a proto-explosive device developed in the 16th century.
Clever girl.
